In vivo detection of lamellocytes in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]

, 2009
Drosophila has recently become a powerful model organism for studies of innate immunity. The cellular elements of innate immunity in Drosophila, the hemocytes, have been characterized by morphological criteria, molecular markers, and cell-type-specific ...

Evolutionary and Functional Diversity of the 5′ Untranslated Region of Enterovirus D68: Increased Activity of the Internal Ribosome Entry Site of Viral Strains during the 2010s

Viruses, 2019
The 5′ untranslated region (UTR) of the RNA genomes of enteroviruses possesses an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) that directs translation of the mRNA by binding to ribosomes.

Preferential regulation of stably expressed genes in the human genome suggests a widespread expression buffering role of microRNAs [PDF]

, 2012
In this study, we comprehensively explored the stably expressed genes (SE genes) and fluctuant genes (FL genes) in the human genome by a meta-analysis of large scale microarray data. We found that these genes have distinct function distributions.

Selective translation of the measles virus nucleocapsid mRNA by La protein

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011
Measles, caused by measles virus (MeV) infection, is the leading cause of death in children because of secondary infections attributable to MeV-induced immune suppression.

Influence of untranslated regions on retroviral mRNA transfer and expression [PDF]

BMC Biotechnology, 2013
Abstract Background Deliberate cellular reprogramming is becoming a realistic objective in the clinic. While the origin of the target cells is critical, delivery of bioactive molecules to trigger a shift in cell-fate remains the major hurdle. To date, several strategies based either on non-integrative vectors, protein

The androgen receptor messenger RNA: what do we know?

RNA Biology, 2022
The Androgen Receptor (AR), transcriptionally activated by its ligands, testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), is widely expressed in cells and tissues, influencing normal biology and disease states. The protein product of the AR gene is involved in

Evolution of the influenza A virus untranslated regions

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2011
In case of the influenza virus, untranslated regions are considered to possess plural functions. The specific packaging model suggests that each of eight segments contains a unique "packaging signal", situated within the untranslated region and coding regions at the 5' and 3' ends of the genomic RNA. In addition to packaging signal, UTRs play key roles
